Doreen Fernandez is one of the most celebrated writers on Philippine food and culture. According to the New York Times, she was “Filipino food’s greatest champion.” Tikim is a groundbreaking work that introduces readers to the wondrous history of Filipino food.

First published by Anvil in 1994, Tikim explores the intricate nuances of Philippine cuisine through its people, places, feasts, and flavors. Her writings go way beyond describing taste, instead her prose situates how a particular dish fits into Filipino daily life.
